A Surprising Imprisonment.

We are in position to state that the
County of Durham will shortly produce
a startling economic improvement in
the matter Of fuel combustion and the
heating of steam boilers. Protection
has been obtained for the invention,
and in the course of short time we
shall be in position to lay before our
readers the practical details. In the
meantime we can only in the most gen.
eral terms foreshadow the nature of the
result attainable. The cubic bulk oil
fuel that will henceforth be required
for marine steam engines will be re-
duced by 20 per cent, giving a gain to
the extent indicated by that proportion
to the storage space for cargo in ocean
going steamships. The time of raising
steam will be diminished in all steam
boilers, stationary and marine, by at
least two-thirds. The cost OF fuel con
sumption will be reduced more than
one-half, and the production Of smoke
will be absolutely annihiiated. The
process has been made the subject oil
actual experimental demonstration.
Every test has been applied. The re-
suits we have given above are the I'M
der circumstances the reverse Of favor.
able to the invention.

"Why?" asked Mrs. Grey, with

from her. She knew the answer.
Because" said the duchess, "my

"Killed!" she repeated, and it seemed

A Curious Incident,

The badness of high hued dyes in
hosiery is responsible for curious
incident at recent fancy dress kettle
drum. The girls who served the tea
wore peasant gowns which disclosed
their ankles. Among the merry maid
ems was one young and pretty widow,
as bewitching as they, and twice as
audacious in a discreet way. Their
sub-rosa conversation turned on their
display of ankles, and the widow
whispered to a companions: 'l'll bet
you box of gloves that | will take of
my stockings altogether, serve out tea
for the rest of the afternoon with bare
ankles and nobody will discover it,"
The wager was made. An impromptu
committee of the amateur peasant girls
accompanied the widow to the dressing
room. 1t was very warm in the apart
ment and the stockings belonging to
the costume wers exceedingly gay in
color. She drew eff her hosiery. AS
she had calculated, her smooth skin
underneath was imprinted with the
pattern OF the stockings, and its tints
not much dimmed or blurred. When
her slippers were put on again no I'M
suspicious spectator would have i'm
agined that her shapely ankles were
bare. She won her wager.-New York

How we Grow.

Recent researches show that on an
average a child from 6 months to s years
grows in hight abost 6 per cent each
year. The weight of the body goes or
increasing to the Sth year, rising in
boys to 80 pounds and in girls to A l.
During the next four years boys gain
about 6 pounds in weight per year
and girls little more, so that in the
18th year children of DO tn sexes weigh
on an average, about rs pounds. From
Is to 20 years youths grow some 80 pei
cent, and girls 20. The increase OF
weight III even more rapid than before,
reaching l45 pounds In boys Is years
old, and girls of the same age about IL
pounds less.
In his 10th year man attains his max
imum weight, say an average OF 10.
pounds, and then begins TO lose flesh
but women continue to grow heavier
reaching about ID pounds less at the
10th year, but more than men at the
50th. Between 45 and 60 men become
corpulent and women rapidly grow
older

Names of Southern Negroes.

A Yankee friend of mine in speaking
of the Limeklin club says: ut is inim-
liable, only that the names of the mem
bers are so exaggerated. :" When wrote
her a list of the queer names that have
become so familiar to me from much
hearing she declared that she would
retract her opinion OF the L;mekiln
names being exaggerated. The ne
groes generally take their names either
from their surroundings or obtain them
from the white people, often mixing up
names in the most incongruous style.
Lily is the favorite name for the black
est pickaninny among them. Our old
washerwamon named her only child
Mary Mandy Selma Pleasant Delight
full. A bow-!egged young descendant
rach Meshach Abednego-though he is
generally known as Shad.
A fond young mother could not de-
eide what to call her first son, so in her
dilemma applied to young lady, who
told her to call him Willipus Wallapus.
The name tickl.d her fancy and now
Willipus Wallapus is added to the list.
This same negro has since become the
mother of daughter, and In speaking
of her few days since says: II ain't
sot on no name for her VT, but I'll
either call her Queen Victoria or Mrs.
Cleveland. She also has a stepson. an
overgrown fellow of IL or Is, who
bears the sweet name of Rosebud Tabb.
But perhaps the most ridiculous names
are found in those of the children of a
half-witted negro near this place.
There are three of them, named re-
spectively Heaven. He'll, and Moses
Smote the Water. A party of picnick-
ers were very much startled in passin 2
her house one day TO hear the following
command: Look hyar, Heaven, you
niggah. you go down TO He'll and gil
dat ar dipper wot dey got down dere. "

At one of the hotels the other day two
very loud and pronounced gentlemen
arrived, and signed their names with a
flourish "from New York" They
evidently knew what little one-horse
town they had come 30, and they began
at once to paralyze the people around
with style. They aired themselves
a about the hotel. They spoke in loud
voices, and commented upon their sur
roundings with asinine freedom. They
were apparently lavish with their
money. To show how they did those
things in New York they got hold of q
couple Of darkey musicians, took pos
session of room near the bar, and had
them play for them while they played
the King of Bavaria business, where
the patrons Of the hotel could hear and
see. The patrons OF the hotel had a
circus of a time watching them. When
the concert was over they came out, and
one of them turning waved the darkey
back, took out coin and threw it.
"Catch that" said he; "that's how
we do it in New York." with the air of
a lord. A gentleman from Nevada had
been among the amused spectators.
He balled the darkey up.
''Say, how much did he give your"
he asked.
1.-TWO bits" said the darkey, showing
the coin.
The New York swells were still
showing off, when the voice Of the
Nevada man attracted their attention
"Stand over there" he said to the
darkey. The darkey did as he was
told. The Nevada man pulled out q
